1.16.1 cannot limit to channel KVOS/KVOSHD (specific to this channel)

Running version 1.16.1.1246-1d09ac057
Other system details in my forum account profile

I have a pair of SD/HD channels for which I cannot choose ‘Limit to Channel’ under recording settings. For the Seattle, WA area with Comcast, it’s channels 072 and 116 (KVOS and KVOSHD). The only option for this is ‘any’. This does not agree with the expected behavior based on documentation at: https://support.plex.tv/articles/226074728-setting-up-recordings/ . This also breaks my current workaround for the EPG bug governing SD/HD tagging (see HD recording scheduling fail with 1.16.1.1246 ).

The problem ONLY occurs with this channel pair. I’ve not been able to reproduce it with any other channel. Deleting and reconfiguring the DVR does not fix the problem.

I can imagine how this might be an EPG problem rather than a PMS code problem. However, it feels like a code problem to me. I’m available for testing fixes.

This is still present in 1.16.1.1273-4b6101f87-FreeBSD-amd64

Guess it must have been an EPG issue. It’s now working on my system.

However, shows on KVOSHD are still showing as SD, despite the fact that some (Star Trek Enterprise) are broadcast in HD. That’s another issue for another thread, though.

I spoke too soon. The problem is back, so it’s most likely an EPG thing. However, there’s another possible bug layered over top causing recordings not to get scheduled at all (even with only ‘prefer HD’).

This appears to be mostly working with the latest guide and 1.16.1.1291. I do now see the ability to manually select KVOSHD, so that’s my main use case.

However, one cannot select KVOS (the SD channel) for SD shows (Star Trek, TNG, DS9, and Voyager, for example. It’s getting there.
